One of the locations I visited on my recent trip to Southern Thailand was Laem Pakarang in Phang Nga province. This is one of the south’s most visited shorebird sites and makes a nice stop when driving between Phang Nga Bay and Sri Phang Nga national parks. I stopped there in the late afternoon of [...]

Mangrove Birding: Birding in Thailand
April 14th, 2016 Nick Mangroves can be a very tough environment for birding in due to the low density of birds, low number of species and the often fragmented habitat with limited access. However, over the last week I have visited a couple of areas of mangroves in Southern Thailand where the birding has been surprisingly good and I [...]

Sanderlings Feeding & Rhynchokinesis – Thailand Birding
March 30th, 2016 Nick A few days ago I visited Pranburi Forest Park in Prachuab Kiri Khan province for a few hours in the afternoon. There was not a lot to be seen in the mangroves and the coastal woodland, just a single Forest Wagtail, some Malaysian Pied Fantails, an Indian Roller and a few Golden-bellied Gerygones. However, on [...]

More Photos from Laem Pak Bia – Thailand Birding
March 28th, 2016 Nick Yesterday, for a second day, I found myself with time alone to visit Laem Pak Bia and Pak Thale. Shorebird numbers were very low compared to a few weeks ago so it appears that most birds have already left for their breeding grounds. I still managed to see 1 Spoon-billed Sandpiper at Pak Thale even [...]

Photos from Laem Pak Bia – Thailand Birding
March 26th, 2016 Nick This afternoon I spent a few hours at Laem Pak Bia photographing birds. It was one of those rare times when I was out on my own so I did not have any particular need to see anything in particular, I simply enjoyed whatever species presented themselves at close range so that I could attempt [...]
A Morning at Sri Nakorn Kuen Khan – Thailand Birding
March 24th, 2016 Nick After a pleasant few days off from a hectic birding schedule spanning the last 4 months I decided to go to Sri Nakorn Kuen Khan Park, near my home in Bangkok, to see if I could find any interesting passage migrants. In fact, March seems to be the peak time for Zappey’s Flycatcher in Thailand [...]

Photos From Cambodia Birding Tour
March 21st, 2016 Nick Yesterday I returned to Thailand after leading a successful birding tour to Cambodia to see a number of mainland Southeast Asia’s most endangered species alongside Sophoan Sanh of the Sam Veasna Centre. We enjoyed great views of a very high proportion of our target birds including a point-blank encounter with a pair of Chestnut-headed Partridges [...]
